Scoring

A good strategy is to read the questions first and then move on to reading the actual passage. This helps you identify the section of the passage and the specific argument that pertains to the question. Break down the passage into its intro, evidence, and conclusion to avoid ambiguity. The paragraph is sure to be peppered with logical traps. Pay keen attention to the word used to get the flow of logic accurately.

Common Mistakes

Overlooking opposite answer questions. Falling for logical traps and confusing consequences with causes. Not being familiar with the terminology and, as a result, making the wrong answer choices.
